Which statement about length measurements is true?

• A. 25K reach pendant (5 feet)
• B. No hold zone length on static discharge wand (16 inches)
• C. Two-point link assembly length
• D. CGU-1B length

Answer: (B)

Length measurements in sling load gear often include fixed safety specifications that must be followed exactly. A common example is the no-hold zone on the static discharge wand. This wand has a defined no-hold zone length of 16 inches, meaning you should not grip within 16 inches of the wand’s discharge end. Keeping your hand outside this zone ensures you don’t interfere with the discharge path and reduces the risk of arcing or contact with energized parts, promoting safer handling during setup and operation.

The other options propose fixed lengths for equipment like the reach pendant, the two-point link assembly, or the CGU-1B, but those lengths aren’t universally fixed at the values listed. They can vary based on configuration, model, or kit, so they aren’t reliably true statements in the general sense.
